What you guys don't get with English is that words change in meaning over time...
But still not a nice universal language that never changes meaning and can't possibly be misunderstood. Even God has his limits, I guess. Unless he could do that, but he actually wants us to argue about what it means. Cut off each other's nobs and that.
If you guys know the bible like you say you do then you'd know that you can only gain understanding of it through revelation, being able to read it means nothing.
